The standard tells you that a fault is a fault, serious, very serious or
disqualification. hence a long coat is a fault, but not a serious fault.
Samples of
faults below:
Coat
The ideal dog has a double coat of medium length. The outer coat should be as
dense as possible, hair straight, harsh and lying close to the body. A slightly
wavy
outer coat, often of wiry texture, is permissible. The head, including the
inner ear
and foreface, and the legs and paws are covered with short hair, and the neck
with
longer and thicker hair. The rear of the forelegs and hind legs has somewhat
longer
hair extending to the pastern and hock, respectively. Faults in coat include
soft,
silky, too long outer coat, woolly, curly, and open coat.
Color
The German Shepherd Dog varies in color, and most colors are permissible.
Strong rich colors are preferred. Pale, washed-out colors and blues or livers
are
serious faults. A white dog must be disqualified.
Any missing teeth other than first premolars is a serious fault.
A dog with a nose that is not predominantly black must be disqualified.
The overreach of the hindquarter usually necessitates one hind foot passing
outside and the other hind foot passing inside the track of the forefeet, and
such
action is not faulty unless the locomotion is crabwise with the dog's body
sideways out of the normal straight line.
Faults of gait, whether from front, rear or side, are to be considered very
serious
faults.
-=-=-=-=-
It can then be presumed that the dog with the least faults, then the least
serious
faults would be judged in that order.
